- Combine existing republics of the Soviet authorities under the general idea of building socialism, and his investigation of communism throughout the world.
Bolsheviks chose the right tactics - they brought their ideas to the people, introducing them under loud slogans "land to the peasants, factories - workers!" And "All power to the Soviets."As a result, they are well-built work has led to the formation of a single, powerful state called the Soviet Union, the abbreviation of which we have to decipher.
